I have wondered what would happen if helath care reform included a program whereby primary care docs (peds, FPs and Internists) were salaried by the government or state (ie like the military or police). Pay off their med school loans, give a fair salary increasing with years of experience and provide same malpractrice as military docs? In return they see any and all uninsured for their primary care needs and preventive services. Offices and staff also on govt payroll. What is the downside?
